Boise’s current rapid growth presents opportunities for our community to build on the strength of our history, while planning for a future of connected neighborhoods and engaged residents. Today, some parts of the city have a well-established identity, where neighbors share a sense of culture and community they call their own. Other areas have an opportunity to begin developing those same connections. Creating and sustaining unique and desirable neighborhoods is important to all Boise’s residents.
The Boise Neighborhood Interactive’s mission is to empower and engage residents, helping them take responsibility for creating and sustaining welcoming and livable neighborhoods.
Targeting residents at all levels of engagement, this community conference aims to build capacity at a neighborhood level and provide information, training, and resources to help people be involved in their community. Whether you’re a veteran of the city’s 34 registered neighborhood associations, or a newcomer waiting to be engaged, the conference will have something to inspire you.

The Boise Neighborhood Interactive has been held every 18 months since the Fall of 2017.

Over the past two events, community leaders and other subject-matter experts have led 30 unique workshops and facilitated multiple round table discussions on topics identified by the citizen steering committee. The events have also offered networking opportunities and a community resource fair.
